Sign in to your Google Account with another email address

When you create a Google Account, you’ll automatically get a Gmail address with it. But if you’d rather use another email address to sign in, you can link a non-Gmail email address to the account, and use it to sign in, recover your password, get notifications and more.

Email address requirements

You can't use a Gmail address.

You can't use an email address that's already linked to another Google Account.

Remember to use your Google Account password when signing in using this email address.

Add an alternate email address

In the "Add a new alternate address" field, enter an email address you own and select "Save."

We’ll send an email with a verification link to your alternate email address. You’ll need to open the email and click the link before you can begin signing in to your account with the alternate address. Please note that email delivery can take some time.
